I had a discussion a while ago with a professor who teaches religion in Halifax at Dalhousie and his opinion was just about every religion starts out so a leader(s) could control, offering afterlife,heaven..etc is just part of the program.
Alex (can't remember his last name) was a cool dude, he never said it and because of family around I didn't ask but I suspected he was actually an atheist in sheeps clothes but teaches religion in university.
